The 2010 summer school of physiology, end of fantastic experience !!!
On August 14th, 7 students and 2 faculties from UBO flew back to Towson University (Maryland, USA) after a 4-week summer school in physiology. This year main theme was "physiology of environmental adaptation".
On the syllabus, 3 weeks of lectures and lab work at Towson University followed by a 1-week trip to the Gulf of Mexico to visit the sites impacted by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill (Florida, Alabama and Louisiana).

Director: Philippe Sébert
Deputy director: Guy Claireaux
The research team in physiology ORPHY is composed of 17 professors and researchers from the University of Brest. Member of the Superior Institute of Science and Technology of Brest (ISSTB), ORPHY is the foundation of research master of Physiology of Regulations
|
|
ORPHY studies the capacity to a living organism to adapt to environmental conditions and / or the effects of their changes in the aim to optimize its functions and therefore its energy expenditure.
Four organizational levels are explored
- sub-cell
- cell
- organic
- organismic
Four constraints are imposed
- exogenous xenobiotic & pressure
- endogenous sepsis & alteration of the endothelium
|
|
|
The master of Physiology of Regulations aims to train biologists in the field of integrated animal physiology: integrative analysis of the effects of environmental changes, aspects of metabolic adaptation,modeling complex biological systems ...
It permit to continue in PhD in public or private research structures or go on jobs in research engineer or study engineer in expérimentation animal.
